I saw your reply to Anthony Marshall before I saw this. I inferred that
you do not care about buggy BIOSes, so I flashed in the latest version.
It boots Knoppix now, but unfortunately it does not work with my new
hard disk anymore ;-[

If you look at the link above you will find a printout of the E820 table.
2.4.19 (at least) contains code to "Sanitize the BIOS e820 map" in
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c.
